Color and design example at the bottom of this post!

Heyo! I've doodled around and have made myself a new species, called Goockos! [Thank you Ranfun [PFM] [OC] (#46507) for helping with the name]. It's a small, six limbed reptile/amphibian mix that I plan on making a small world for. You'd be able to breed, sell, and import these little creatures. They'll all have their own personalities, bonding abilities, and some will even have mutations! For now progress is slow and steady, because my tablet is gone at the moment, but soon it will pick up. I've already planned age stages. 3 different previews for the egg stage, 3 for the hatchling-adolescent stage, and 2 different line arts for the male and female adults. I may even have some pregnancy lines soon. For now I'll only be showing the female adult lines as I don't want to spoil any of the art I will be using for the world.
This will most likely be co-owned with my sibling, iChicken.

Female Adult: Without smoke.

Guestimated price for one so far: 1-2GB or SB equivalent

Fun facts, stats, and blurbs.
-They don't properly regulate their 'steam' until they are adults, thus their line art just has slits for their vents.
-Adults will feed off of mice and small birds, or basically anything they can catch. They feed off of the adrenaline from creatures and prefer if their prey is afraid or excited. [Not necessary but gives them a little perk.]
- Generally friendly if raised from a young age and trained correctly.
-Females are generally small and have no tusks. About 3 Inches tall and 5 Inches long, average.
-Males are larger and have small tusks, will gather and protect up to three females. Are about four inches tall and 6 12 inches long, average.
-Egg color depends on toxin color. About 7-12 eggs will be in each batch, but female will only keep a few. Up to five. They are very frog-like.
-Toxin seeps off of underbelly, neck,tail and out of their mouth. Initially not deadly, and will only sting if gotten on skin. Toxin becomes active once the middle set of hands on the Goocko. come in contact with it. Substance secreted by the hands reacts with the goop and triggers toxin and the poison then proceeds to burn through the skin and enter the blood stream as a numbing agent keeps the prey from noticing. Humans die within the hour, along with most large animals. It takes only minutes for their prey to perish from suck toxins. Goocko will only touch the goop if feeling threatened and/or agitated, proceed to pickup with caution and specialized gloves.
-Bonding is absolutely essential for any recognition from a Goocko.
-Young secrete copious amounts of both liquids making them unstable and severely dangerous to handle.
-Pupils become slitted as they age
-Neuro-toxin is emitted from the 'vents' in their backs in a gas form. Deadly if inhaled. Makes a 'screaming' noise when exiting the slits. If mutation or other form covers up vents and it cannot release the air, the neurotoxin becomes trapped in the sacks and soaks into the bloodstream, killing them slowly as they overdose on their own toxin

[Blurb I wrote about them.]
This species was discovered only because logging sites had gotten too close and too deep into the jungle grounds where they resided, and many of the species died when their home was destroyed, crushed under machines and fallen trees, or picked off by birds when their protective underbrush was all but ripped away with their homes. Eventually, after a few workers died due to encounters with these little creatures, a small program in America was alerted of their presence, and a group of researchers were sent in to collect a few specimen. The species was deemed critically endangered only two weeks later. Only ten were saved from the original patch of forest, but the facility that now cares for them are importing new ones on occasion in an attempt to breed this species back from the brink of extinction. These tiny lizards are rarely imported due to the difficulty of finding them, and it takes a large amount of cash to send in research groups to find these little buggers. They are very valuable, only a few handlers are chosen to care for these little creatures, and very little people people know about their existence. The little creatures in the first generation are wild, and hard to handle, but hopefully the next generation will be calmer, if raised and handled correctly.

Suggestions so far
Any name suggestions?
[1] Make more of a nostril than a slit.
[2] Make a history on their evolutionary process and it's reasoning.

So what do you think?
Any pricing ideas?
Would you buy one?
Anything I could improve? Keep in mind this is still very much a WIP.

Thank you for your input! I'll keep it in mind as I develop these little buggers. I may post a preview or two of the adolescent stages tonight if I can manage.:3

So what do you think? these are adorable, I want one now
Any pricing ideas? maybe 1gb or sb equal?
Would you buy one? yes I want a mini hoard now (especially a Purple and green male)
Anything I could improve? I would love if they had a bit more of a nose slit or nostril instead of a dot

Quick question, will any of the poses have a tongue sicking out? (I would adore it if they did, automatic +20 cute points)

Most of the other sketches actually have a slit instead of dot, but this one was one of the first drew and the face has been edited like a million times. xD

Yes actually, the adolescent male has his tongue sticking out of his mouth.:3

Thank you for your interest! I'll keep the pricing advice in mind when I am finished <3 [Also I may try to fit in a purple and green male in the first batch I make. >:3]

Thank you so much for the input Komainu! :D I appreciate it!

Here's an update on the digital base for the females! Lighter colors would be the color of the toxin slime, whil darker colors indicate where the markings and main skin color will be! Lines will be colored on all import sheets and references for these little fellas I make. Also lazy smoke is lazy because tablet is gone Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Thank you for filling out the form AristaLight, it is greatly appreciated! ^^

I have to head to bed now, but tomorrow I will try and finish the male base to put up, and possibly start working on the other bases as well for the world. Thread may be up in a couple of days and the first batch done sometime soon<3

So what do you think? I'm not big on original species, but I'll admit, I really want one of those :3
Any pricing ideas? 100GB+ I'm serious
Would you buy one? YES!
Anything I could improve? Maybe have a bit of history on how they evolved, I'd love to know more speciically why they developed a six pair of legs purely for the purpose of activating toxins, and what animals they are related to. *cough*six legged salamander all the way*cough*

@Prince [KYO]
Don't worry, I'm already cookin' up quite a bit of history on these guys, because I'm a sucker for stuff like that as well. Love writing about things like this. :3
I'm glad to know that you want one, ;v;

Also omg 100GB? You flatter

Well, I've finished the egg line art for stage one, and hopefully when I get back from physical therapy in about an hour I can finish the male line art and have something more for everybody to look at <3 Also currently thinking of ideas for their species history
